A man like that, I thought, would take you in hand. A man like that would keep you safe from yourself. Was it love at first sight? Not exactly. But it was a haven in the storm.

In "A Small Indiscretion" by Jan Ellison, the narrator reflects on the idea of meeting a man who could be both a protector and a guide. This man, with a strong presence, represents security and stability in the chaos of life. The narrator feels drawn to him not out of love at first sight, but rather because he offers a sense of refuge during tumultuous times.
This encounter signifies more than just attraction; it's about finding comfort and safety in a world that feels overwhelming. The man symbolizes a kind of safety net, allowing the narrator to explore emotions and circumstances with a bit more confidence and reassurance.
A man like that, I thought, would take you in hand. A man like that would keep you safe from yourself. Was it love at first sight? Not exactly. But it was a haven in the storm.
